A CHRISTMAS WEDDING

Christmas is definitely one of the most wonderful times of the year. Not only is it a festive time of year, but it also makes you appreciate your loved ones. A Christmas wedding would be the perfect way to get into the spirit by bringing together all your loved ones, and promising to give more than you’ll receive from your future spouse.

Promise your eternal love in the middle of a snowy field for the ultimate white Christmas. Frolic in the middle of a pine tree forest or keep warm in a cozy lodge.

To get your guests into the holiday spirit, you’ll want to decorate your party with plenty of wreaths, shiny ornaments, and you can even use candy canes to spruce up your centerpieces and place mats. Set up a Christmas tree to serve as your focal point and deck the halls with some twinkle lights and plenty of candles.

Christmas is all about the details, so DIY your own “Merry Christmas” banner, set out some bowls filled with ornaments, pick some holly berries to accent the table or your bouquet, and place little gingerbread houses inside glass vases. Some  snowflake ornaments make lovely Christmas party favors, especially when wrapped in a festive favor box. Ornaments also make great place card holders.

Spread some holiday cheer with plenty of candy goodies. Mini marshmallow snowmen, some peppermint treats, and some Gingerbread houses will have everybody crowding around the dessert table. For drinks, serve up some hot beverages including decadent white hot chocolate, some spicy teas, and even send guests home with their very own cranberry infusion.

Finally, don’t forget to bundle up. A long-sleeved gown can look very elegant, especially when paired with a flowing bouquet. You can also put on a winter coat over your gown to keep you warm outside and remove it for the reception. Some sparkly gold shoes are perfect for dancing the night away, but some green wellies would be perfect for the rain or snow.
